New York Mets hire interim manager Andy Green for full-time job, giving him 3-year contract‎

In a change of course, the New York Mets hired interim manager Andy Green for the full-time job on Tuesday, giving him a three-year contract. Green had been running New York's farm system before taking over as interim manager when Carlos Mendoza was fired in late June. At the time, Green said he wasn't particularly interested in managing beyond this year, and Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stears said Green would return to a front-office role after the season — a stance Stearns stuck to in the months that followed.
